Blueprint changed by amjjawad: Whiteboard changed: [amjjawad] Ubuntu GNOME is still a young project yet very fast growing one. Ubuntu GNOME Sub-Teams have been created in August and September, 2013 and that was in the middle of Saucy Salamander development cycle. We had not enough time nor manpower for Translation group for Ubuntu GNOME and sadly, that was the case as well for Trusty Tahr cycle. Ubuntu GNOME Team is planning to start working on this area with the next cycle and that will be after April, 2014 (after releasing Trusty Tahr). However: 1- If there are interested people 2 - Serious people 3- Long Term Contributors 4- a Driver/Team Leader --> DONE Who would like to make it happen for Trusty Tahr Cycle, please let us know. [Driver/Team Leader - Requirements] 1- Active. 2- Serious. 3- Have a commitment for a Long Term Help/Support. 4- Proven Record/Previous Experience/Current Experience with Translations. 5- Able to build his group or team of translators. 6- A Team Player who communicate with everyone (his/her team and Ubuntu GNOME as a whole community). 7- Motivated and eager to learn and improve. These are the requirements to start the actual work for Ubuntu GNOME Translation. Please, always refer to: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [fitoschido] QUESTION: What Ubuntu GNOME-specific software do we have, in order for this team to actually be needed? I can only think of the installer slideshow, which is translated by the existing Ubuntu-l10n-* teams. GNOME software from upstream should be translated at GNOME, we shouldn't reinvent the wheel. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [aldomann] I agree with fitoschido, how can we really help into making this? I see this Team more as a place to explain how to contribute via Ubuntu teams or directly via GNOME-l10n. I think it's crucial to know what are our plans and what is our real power in the direct localisation of Ubuntu GNOME. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [Janis-Marks Gailis] We will redirect translators if they want to translate GNOME, to GNOME l10n team; but we will focus on Ubuntu GNOME, so we have to translate the marketing stuff, the docs, and, if possible, the website. If we can't translate our website, we have to work closely with LoCoTeams so they can host, for example, in France, ubuntu-gnome.fr, that our team has translated. If we want the LoCoTeams to spread the world about Ubuntu Gnome, we have to make their work as easy as possible, so they have only to take a Domain, and a hosting. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [amjjawad] So, the plan will be as follows: 1- Contributions and Contributors should be within Ubuntu GNOME Marketing and Communications Team - https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugnome-comms and those who are interested, need to join that team. 2- Ubuntu GNOME Translation Group to work closely with Ubuntu LoCo Teams and use their available resources such as Wiki Pages. 3- No need to create any 'new' Sub-Team for Ubuntu GNOME Translation Group. 4- For now, Ubuntu GNOME Translation Group will not be involved in Software Translation but rather Ubuntu GNOME Wiki Pages Translations and other resources. 5- Have a meeting (IRC or Hangout: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Meetings ) to discuss all the above and/or any other suggestion.
